Dearest of pals,

I was no end pleased to get your tophole of letters and hear all the snippy bits as only you can dispense them. Since getting your letter, I hear from Taylor, who used to be secretary of the Jericho Club, that you have taken unto yourself an affianced husband, but knowing you, most wonderful Dodie, as I do, I shall believe nothing till I see the announcement in cold print. If it is so I offer you and him my most sincere felicitations: him my heartiest congratulations on having plucked so peerless a hand from the burning and you my ardent wish that he is good enough for you. I came across Taylor at Purfleet with the Canadian Railway Corps. As I spend most of my time wandering round the various Canadian training centres I see many old friends - and otherwise! As the medical authorities seem to be quite convinced they won't go back to France I am becoming more or less reconciled to the fact that I shall hold down
